As a historian i have managed to compile over 600 people within my family tree, including the Burgess section. This is all quite new for me as both of my parents were adopted so it&#39;s amazing finding out about my blood relatives. If you have an ancestry account you can take a look at the family history and the documents that i have found on http://trees.ancestry.co.uk/tree/81598388/family?cfpid=46455431560&amp;selnode=1<br />I hope you enjoy. I&#39;d love to hear from any of you very distant relatives.

I, as many of you, am a descendant of Thomas Burgess, Benjamin Nye, Ezra Perry William Bassett, Thomas Tupper, Richard Bourne and more. It is so interesting walking through the old town cemetery and seeing all the graves of your family.

We were born in 1953, and our grandfather Raymond Burgess used to say &#39;his people&#39; had been here for seven generations. How exciting to find out he was right. I live in MA and cannot wait to visit the cemetery.

According to a copy of a Plymouth Colony law I&#39;ve seen, one of the Thomas Burgesses was authorized to catch fish alongshore in the 1600s. In those days the fishery was tightly regulated, more so than today.sapereaudehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12315020589815993099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3037326832482088445.post-60304952851755396782013-04-20T20:28:53.735-04:002013-04-20T20:28:53.735-04:00Thanks for the great information on my ancestors.Thanks for the great information on my ancestors.Trent Boydhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10568391764505377681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3037326832482088445.post-51712570333279042952013-01-18T12:20:11.745-05:002013-01-18T12:20:11.745-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.campaignshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12190561033294334160noreply@blogger.com
